Howard Mash continues to stay atop the chip leaderboard, and he keeps getting just the right cards to do so.
Mash played a three-way pot against Jeffery Bond and Joseph Pizzuto, firing a bet for 250,000 when both players checked to him on the 
flop. The bet got folds out of both opponents, and Mash showed 
for top pair.
"I always have it!" Mash said.

Thanks to Barry Greenstein for filling in the preflop action: Bill Stabler, nursing 400,000 and moving all in regularly, uncalled, moved all in preflop again. Patrick [Removed:349], in Seat 1, didn't notice, and threw in 100,000, then 400,000 when he was made to call. Over to Alan Ho, who shipped in 910,000 over the top only to see his left hand side neighbour Ivo Donev move all-in himself for more than Ho's bet.
[Removed:349] got out of the way.
Stabler: 
Ho:
Donev: 
The board: 
. Stabler busted and Donev had to count out two thirds of his stack and hand it to Ho.

WSOP bracelet winner John Esposito and WPT champion Victor Ramdin are in a dead heat, each with 1.2 million chips. Esposito stood up to report to PokerNews about an earlier hand that saw Esposito take some of Ramdin's stack with a gutshot straight.
Ramdin heard this going on from the next table and was having none of it, telling Esposito to sit back down and pay attention to his hand. This friendly banter fits right in with the overall feel of this event on Day 3, with plenty of good-natured needling going on between players at the remaining tables.
